I've been banned from Digg twice.....

[klitzy]

Yeah...Iv been banned from Digg.com not once....But Twice.

Yeah....I feel badass.

Anyone else been banned from digg?

[alexsk8ca]

What did you get banned for?

[klitzy]

What did you get banned for?

First time...I posted one of those Boston things in the comment section and the second time was because I signed up for User/Submitter and dugg two stories on there.

[tokenuser]

Did you hear that?



No?




Listen carefully ....



How about now. Yep. That was me laughing my ass off.
Well done Klitzy!

[magunwarrior]

Oh I didn't know that bad ass was synonymous with idiotic.

[klitzy]

Oh I didn't know that bad ass was synonymous with idiotic.

No being banned from the site that is on your license plate is definately......

[yourestillmycaesar]

First time...I posted one of those Boston things in the comment section and the second time was because I signed up for User/Submitter and dugg two stories on there.

What? I'm having a retard moment and I'm not understanding the ban-ability of those two things... haha... or maybe I can't read and comprehend English.... possible.

[magunwarrior]

I don't understand the first, but the second basically is he registered another account and dugg a story he dugg on another account.

[jon]

What? I'm having a retard moment and I'm not understanding the ban-ability of those two things... haha... or maybe I can't read and comprehend English.... possible.

Well, you're not alone. I don't fully get it, either.

[masherscf]

I think he was banned for lack of coherency.

[klitzy]

Dude...Okay. Remember those Boston things. The like symbol pictures of them that people were posting in the comment sections. Well I posted that in some story and they obviously didnt want people doing that.

Next....There is a site that pays you for digging the stories they tell you to. I decided I would check it out and after I dugg just two stories....I was banned. By the way, the second one is clearly clearly against the ToS and I advise no one to do it. Literally...Two stories and I was banned. They are smart. Hope this clears it up.

[yourestillmycaesar]

HAHA that's hilarious. Good job.

Alrighty, I'm glad I wasn't the only person that didn't understand Klitzyish.

[magunwarrior]

You were seriously banned for posting THAT!?!?!

I am shocked, awed, amazed, and deeply frightened.

[rowlodge]

was that you?...and you got banned?...wow!...i remember that since i read a lot of digg post. not surprised since there is so much spam there or just links to crazy off topic sites. ... thats funny! (i mean sorry you got banned)

[popltree2]

HAHA that's hilarious. Good job.

Alrighty, I'm glad I wasn't the only person that didn't understand Klitzyish.

I don't think any of us do. I hear they offer college courses on it. Scholars have spent their entire lives studying it, many going mad. Archaeologists are on the hunt, as we speak, for a Rosetta Stone for this baffling pseudo-language.

[captainzerocool]

Awesome Klitzy!

:D

[ariastar]

I understood him just fine.

I can't believe they banned you for the Boston thing. I saw several different people post that in comments. It's definitely not against the ToS.

But for the second, you should be flogged.

[rhett803]

He should be flogged for having Digg on his license plate, that's just kinda pathetic in a geeky way.

[mcsurvey]

My entire ISP got banned because we use a transparent proxy. Go Digg, they fixed it up though. (TPG = 5th largest Australian ISP).

[ariastar]

I have a friend who's been considering getting a Digg tattoo.

[magunwarrior]

The only tattoo I would even consider getting would be an Apple logo.

Yes, I am that level of fanboy.

[masherscf]

I think we should get Klitzey banned from this thread.

Just for shits and giggles.

[ariastar]

The only tattoo I would even consider getting would be an Apple logo.

Yes, I am that level of fanboy.

My body's scarred enough. I'm more of a fan of not letting there be any more permanent marks on my body, so screw tattoos.

[magunwarrior]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of them either, I'm just saying if I ever get one (which I won't) then that's what it would be.

[ariastar]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of them either, I'm just saying if I ever get one (which I won't) then that's what it would be.

It wouldn't be that because you wouldn't get one.

[magunwarrior]

I'm just saying hypothetically, that if I were to get one, it would be an Apple logo.

[ariastar]

I'm just saying hypothetically, that if I were to get one, it would be an Apple logo.

So get one.

[klitzy]

Ignore AriaStar...She is obviously not getting the "hypothetically" of that statement. Its okay Aria...We can't all expect to be intelligent.

Damn...No one got the misspelled "inteligent." Oh well.

[masherscf]

Ignore AriaStar...She is obviously not getting the "hypothetically" of that statement. Its okay Aria...We can't all expect to be inteligent.

Apparently, we can't can't all expect to live past 17 either. ;)

[logant]

Did you hear that?



No?




Listen carefully ....

Well done Klitzy!

We got number 1 badass right here.

[ariastar]

Ignore AriaStar...She is obviously not getting the "hypothetically" of that statement. Its okay Aria...We can't all expect to be inteligent.

Klitzy, do me a favor and go to hell.

[klitzy]

Apparently, we can't can't all expect to live past 17 either. ;)

Why not? I don't get it.

[ariastar]

Ignore AriaStar...She is obviously not getting the "hypothetically" of that statement. Its okay Aria...We can't all expect to be inteligent.

Oh, and before you start insulting me for not being "inteligent," learn to spell the fucking word right and to insert an apostrophe in contractions such as "it's."

[klitzy]

Hahahahahaha....Sweet life.

[masherscf]

Why not? I don't get it.

You'll be smothered to death in your sleep by irate emo-kids because you're a cheeky bastard.

[yourestillmycaesar]

Don't worry Aria, Klitzy's just jealous that your boobs are bigger than his.

This is, however, an assumption. :D

Play nicely, kids. Haha.

[ariastar]

No, he's pissed that he doesn't get to play with mine.

[rabidbadger]

I'll play with your boobs even though I'm gay. (Closet case days -daze- seeps into my OrganicRam.) Boobs are fun. And "boobs" is a weird word. Wonder where that came from. (big fan of etymology).

All words are weird when you stop and think about it. Meaningless sounds and visual objects to which we just assign meanings. I'd like to know who decides grammar rules, such as not ending a phrase with a preposition. ("[T]o which we assign meanings" is correct as "which we assign meanings to" ens with "to," a preposition.)

[masherscf]

Boobs, from the Latin Boobila, meaning "saggy feeding bags."

I'll have to take your "word" (he he) for it, cause I refuse to google "boobila.":D

Not surprisingly, the origins are obscure.

[samureye]

Klitzy, it would be great if you could stop antagonizing other members of the site. Also, digg is a news site, not to mention a private site meaning you can be banned for anything the owners see fit. Good call for them.

I wasn't saying that they shouldn't have banned me....I was just saying stating that I got banned.

[bb4034]

Don't feel bad Klitzy, I recently got banned from Yahoo for violation of their ambiguous "terms of service." I suspect it was because it was because I had bypassed their profanity filter on a number of occasions...went through withdrawal, then came to the realization that it was for the better since my data structures and algorithms hw wasn't getting done by itself...


CS FTW!
;)

My data structures class was awesome....except we didn't learn vectors. :(

I've posted stories with profanity in the TITLE. One of them even made the front page. No ban.

[viper64]

Specifically, my IP address is totally banned. My blog (viper64.blogspot.com) posts still link to my digg submissions.

I'm not sure why they banned me. But, it happened the morning after I posted (BBC, Totally Busted! WTC7, etc, blah blah blah). If that's the reason, I'm proud; its like being the guy standing in front of the tank in Tiananmen square.

Anyone know who to talk to (or sleep with) to get cleared of your ban? I really like Digg and Diggnation, I went skiing in Reno with those guys (Kevin and Alex).

I personally think it will be very unpopular for Digg to start scrubbing their databases! I.e. that's censorship. I hate to believe that's happening.

And, the next time they start indiscriminantly banning people, it would be nice if there was at least an email telling you why... Otherwise, it looks a little CHICKENSHIT!

[rebelace]

I have been threatened with a ban before for testing that website that pays u for ur diggs.

[ariastar]

I was banned from a couple poetry message boards/websites for the reason that one of the other members and I broke up and he kept trying to get me to fight with him. So the admins decided to ban ME because he'd been there longer. On one of the boards, other members got so pissed and raised such hell that the admin decided to close it altogether. I'm still kind of touched that so many were so incensed at me being kicked off that they made it so known.

[ariastar]

Saggy?! Maybe yours are!

At least you're man enough to admit it. :D

[zcondren]

I got banned for signing up for user/submitter and digging two of thier stories as well. Thats dumb honestly why should digg care?

[magunwarrior]

It's the fact that you could register X amount of accounts and digg the story X amount of times.

Gaming the system as they call it.

You could digg your story to the front page just on your own.

[klitzy]

I got banned for signing up for user/submitter and digging two of thier stories as well. Thats dumb honestly why should digg care?

Because it completely kills the integrity of the site....

Yeah...I deserved to be banned for that. Won't make that mistake again.

Of course you won't, you're banned.

I got the sympathy unban....

Oooooh. A little social engineering from Klitzy the Kid. :)

Why did they feel sympathy? :)
